Environment information

80% of the the water purifier components and its packaging have a label to help you recycle and discard it correctly. The water purifier is more efficient when it cleans water for longer periods. Example: do not fill a glass with water. Fill a jug instead.

DisposalAt the end of the water purifier’s life, disconnect the plug from the electrical supply and cut the cable at the point where it enters

the appliance. Make sure that children do not play with the left-over cable. Contact your local authority for information about

where the water purifier can be left, or contact your dealer.

Appliances bearing this symbol must be deposited at the designated local reception point for the disposal of

electrical and electronic equipment. This product may not be disposed of using the normal household refuse

collection processes.

Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

Do not repair or modify parts of the water purifier. This can make it operate incorrectly, and lead to injury and damage not covered by the warranty.

Spirit is a reverse osmosis system. It contains a replaceable membrane that is very important for effective reduction of total dissolved solids (TDS). Replace this membrane regularly. Test the cleaned water periodically, at least one time every year, to make sure that Spirit performs correctly.

Only approved Bluewater staff can do servicing and repairs on the water purifier. Only use original replacement cartridges and parts from Bluewater. For the spare parts catalogue and contact information for purchases, seewww.bluewatergroup.com.

The water to be cleaned must obey the requirements in ”Technical information”. Test the water at least one time every year. If the water is not clean, do not drink it. Contact a Bluewater dealer.

Only connect the water purifier to one clean water faucet supplied by Bluewater. Do not connect it to other pipes, tanks or dishwashers.

Do not put or keep objects on top of the water purifier.Do not put the water purifier in water.

Connect the water purifier to an earthed electrical supply. Use a socket that is easy to access after installation. Only an approved electrician must do permanent wiring on the system. A safety switch must be installed on the system. Incorrect installation can lead to damage, or make the water purifier dangerous to use.

Do not use the power cord if there are visible signs of damage on it. If the power cord is damaged, a qualified electrician must replace it in order to prevent danger.

If the water purifier is disconnected from water and electricity for >5 days, store it as described in “Put into storage” on page 20.

Intended useThe water purifier is intended to produce purified water. Do not use it for any other purpose. Any use beside indoor home

environment and for purposes other than purifying water for household use is considered as unintended use and will

automatically void your warranty.

The electronically controlled Spirit 300 is intended to produce the quantity of water that is normally required for cooking and

drinking in a household. The pressure controlled Spirit 300Cp can be connected to other devices such as dishwashers.

Descale

The descaling product is harmful. Keep it where children cannot get it. Clean your hands when you have used it. Always flush Spirit after descaling. See “Flush Spirit” on page 12.

Frequency depending on water quality and usage! To extend the water purifier lifetime: Descale Spirit with 6 month intervals or when the flow is decreased.

If Spirit has been descaled and the filters have been replaced, but the water flow cannot be restored, contact your Bluewater dealer.

The descale takes approximately 10 hours. Do not use the water purifier during this time. Order the descaling product from Bluewater
